How To Spray Paint A Tray

Serve up your culinary creations in style on a tray painted in a colour that compliments your kitchen and crockery.

What you will need

Steps

Move the tray to be painted to a well-ventilated area and place on top of newspaper or a dust sheet. Mask off any areas of the object not to be painted. Protect the surrounding area with additional dust sheets or newspaper.

Hold the can approximately 30cm from the surface of the tray and spray in a steady back and forth motion, slightly overlapping with each stroke. For best results, whilst spraying, keep the can the same distance from the surface and keep the can in motion. Apply several light coats a few minutes apart.
